History

Vividion Therapeutics is a company in San Diego, United States. It combines the power of chemoproteomics and covalent chemistry to forge connections between precision therapeutics and previously undrugged drivers of disease, aiming to bring more disease-causing targets within the reach of small molecule therapeutics. Its drug discovery engine has yielded multiple novel drug candidates that are being evaluated in clinical trials. The company uses a covalent-first chemoproteomics approach to discover and develop new therapeutics that bind challenging-to-drug disease-causing protein targets, and reports having uncovered hundreds of druggable pockets on protein targets with validated biology and links to disease, as well as compounds that interact with these pockets in a highly selective manner. It states it has progressed multiple candidates from initial screening to clinical trials and has a deep pipeline of programs poised for future clinical entry. Aleksandra Rizo joined Vividion in 2022 as President and Head of Research and Development, and in 2023 was promoted to President and Chief Executive Officer and joined the Board of Directors.
